RUNNING OF THE WOOLS
MAY 4, 2024
Main Street, Washington
For decades, Washington has had strong ties within the agriculture and farming community of the region. So much so, that in the 19th century, Washington was the number one exporter of wool in the nation! These connections have been an important part of our history and have a place in our future as well. This event is a fun way to showcase the wool and farming industry in our region, while also highlighting downtown Washington's businesses, community partners and rich history. We hope you can join us as we celebrate the importance of our farming community!
